Exploration History

1991-92 the proeprty containing the Lutz vein was explored by J.F. Paquette who completed a self-potential survey along with prospecting, and sampling. Results from teh self-potential survey identified a number of anomalies. 1993, Cominco Limited optioned the property containing the LUtz vein and completed geological mapping surficial geochemistry, electromagnetic and magneitc surveys. The magnetic survey identified several magnetic highs that were interpreted to identify deep-seated conductors, showed no significant anomalies. Several narrow zones of low resisitivity are assocaited with magnetic lows and with some known copper showings.

Mineralization Comments

Jul 07, 2011 (A Pace) - In 1991, assays for gold taken from teh mineralized areas of teh Lutz vein returned values ranging from 1 to 7.19g/ton from 8 of the samples. In 1994, chip samples taken by Cominco across a mineralized section of teh Lutz vein adit contained up to 6000 ppb gold and 28,000 ppm copper from a chalccit bearing quartz carbonate breccia.
